David Rocha’s dream of becoming a professional violinist had always seemed far-fetched so he started making musical instruments from garbage waste.Earning a minimum wage his mother only managed to buy him a small guitar when he was ten. But his real dream only came true when Rocha found out about a free instrument crafting workshop. He began picking up pieces of old furniture and scraps from garbage dumps near his home. By recycling he managed to create the musical instruments. They are of better quality than the instruments students would be able to buy in stores, which are instruments made from low-quality wood that is inappropriate for crafting musical instruments. Rocha says he loves hunting for wood as much as he enjoys working on it later. Rocha hopes to be able to someday show off his talent at a famous concert house where many of the worlds top orchestras have played.
